Built through a dedicated father-son restoration completed in 2022, this 1951 Ford F-1 pickup channels classic American determination with its light metallic blue finish. White pinstriping accents flow along the front nose, hood, and fenders, creating bold definition against the paint. The oak bed with color-matched slats amplifies the truck's refined appearance, while 15-inch paint-matched steel wheels with beauty rings and center caps ground its stance. The classic profile rolls on Coker Classic 225/75R15 wide whitewall tires while chrome bumpers, mirrors, and door handles add brilliant contrast.
The two-tone black and metallic blue vinyl bench seat leads the interior's purposeful layout. Black ABS material covers the headliner and rear cab wall, complemented by a black vinyl sun visor. The floor-mounted manual shifter extension puts the gear changes right where they belong. Modern upgrades include new gauges displaying speed, fuel, oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage. A retro-style AM/FM/AUX stereo provides the soundtrack, while rubber mats cover the floors.
A rebuilt 239ci flathead V8 with Edelbrock aluminum heads gives this F-1 authentic power. The engine sends its strength through a Borg Warner T5 5-speed manual transmission to a Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.70 gears and an Eaton Tru-Track differential. The front disc brakes provide enhanced stopping capability. Red's headers connect to Smithy's mufflers for a proper V8 sound. The suspension maintains its classic solid axle and leaf spring configuration both front and rear.
